I know this is probably just a post for the sake of the conversation but as I had a few advanced collectors on this forum asking me more pictures of this collar I post it again.

<o></o>

I obtained this item many months ago together with lots of other items of which most of them where very scarce and original (confirmed on this forum).

The below pictured tab was rejected right away for obvious reasons of such a bad quality that it could never been good. (Explanation at the time)

I sold the item together with other fakes for a small price to a dealer who deals only in fakes. But then I received a few email from members who suddenly where not so sure any longer of the 100% fake verdict of the piece and I bought it back (1 €ro / 1.25 US $).

I post it again for these people.

Notice that the original pictures of SS men wearing this type of collar are not better looking eider!!!

Marc,
although these type of patches can be crude looking in the execution of the embroidery i do not like the one you pictured above,
cheers,
Gary

thats right that some of them look kinda poor in the quality, but this one isn´t in the style I know from some originals. A good fake tab in my opinion.

Thank you for the info, which is confirming the first verdict, anyway, this post was merely to show the pictures to a few non-convinced members.
